Toxic drugs, toxic atmosphere, toxic "professionals" with toxic attitudes ... welcome to the Toxic Ward. This is a survivor's account of life on a psychiatric ward, and how being labelled "mentally ill" changes your world. These were sometimes funny times, but mostly tragic times; times which nobody should have to go through, but millions do. Human rights do not exist for mental patients. They are routinely humiliated, abused, tortured, and made to feel it is all "for their own good", so they rarely complain. Modern treatment for mental distress consists of drugs, drugs, and more drugs. The "chemical imbalance in the brain" theory has yet to be scientifically proven, and yet everyone working in this field believes in it as surely as they believe in gravity or that the world is round. This book is my attempt to blow the lid on everything that is wrong with the mental health "system", where one group of people have too much power over another group of people. I have offered some alternatives, and I am sure many more ideas could be come up with, if only mental health professionals would take off their blinkers and see that what they are doing does not really "help" anyone at all.
